There are a few listed as coming back this week which is good because we need them:-

Michael Evans (back) - indefinite

James Frawley (calf) - test

Max Gawn (knee) - season

Brad Green (finger) - 1 week

Jordan Gysberts - test (ankle)

Neville Jetta (ankle) - indefinite

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - test

Stef Martin (hip) - test

James Strauss (leg) - test

Josh Tynan (foot) - 2-3 weeks

Although Josh Tynan is listed as "2-3 weeks" an artcile on the club's site indicated he might be right this week.

Also good to see that James Magner is not on the list.

All going well, next week it could be down to just Evans, Gawn, Tynan and Jetta, none of whom are relevant to our fortunes this year. Seeing a short injury list would make a nice change.

we are 0-5 and 16th so it sounds crazy.. but we do have some good depth when you look at the above names and add Clark with Bennell, Petterd, Blease, Couch and Nicholson at Casey... that's a total of about 14 decent players outside last weeks 22, 6 of them very good players

At risk of inciting a very boring debate about depth that I've seen go around a million times on this site now, knowing that Very Average Player #23 can come in to fill in the role of Being Very Average when Very Average Player #22 gets injured hardly gets me excited.

Honestly - would anyone seriously go "oh, damn, Jones is injured. But thank God we've got Tom Couch to fill the void!"

Next year when we spend the Scully picks and fill our list thanks to a quality deep draft I have a feeling our depth will me more than suffice for modern day AFL footy.

yeah agree with you on an immediate basis but plenty of those boys have their best footy in front of them so it is heartening, not for right now but for the upcoming few years

Don't understand your boring point- depth isn't supposed to be exciting.

What about inspector Taggert? When is he due for a kick?

Rory Taggert: It was Rory's first game for the season. He is a strong bodied young man and showed glimpses of his special talent. He will only improve with games under his belt.

There is a fair bit of class out of the side that will be pushing up for a spot.

I expect to see some improvement in ball movement with Jurrah ,Gysberts,Martin ,Strauss and even Green pushing for spots.

Frawley back in too.

Whats the story with Ricky P?

Form,attitude , injury?

I see Neeld returning injured players in as subs game by game.

Whats the story with Jetta?

Any thoughts re greens return? Assuming, given he was dropped and out of down when injured he will be coming back through the scorps? That being said, it is a finger injury so hopefully he has been able to work hard on the track at fitness and he may be ready to slot straight back in. Making a senior player earn their spit through Casey upon return from injury would send a strong message.

Perhaps it will depend on performance of the 22 this week?

Also not wanting to fan the fire of a boring debate, you're not suggesting that Jones is "Very Average Player #22", are you? :huh:

I thought it might seem that way, but it wasn't intentional. Jones is easily in our top 5 players at the moment.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
